Christmas Jollies II is the 10th studio album done by The Salsoul Orchestra, produced by disco producer Patrick Adams, recorded and released in December 1981 on Salsoul Records.

Side two is instrumental, with flutist Art Webb, especially on two disco versions of two tracks, "The Salsoul Christmas Suite", based on "The Nutcracker Suite" and "Joyful Spirit", based on "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring".

The mid-tempo disco version of "God Rest You Merry Gentlemen" is semi-instrumental with the vocal chorus singing. On that disco version of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen", Jocelyn Brown did not sing the lead; it was a chorus of five studio singers singing in the background named Venus Dodson, Wendell Morrison, Marian Rolle, Rene Mills and Margo Williams.
